-What's new:
------------
-
-- New getconf tool for querying confstr(3), pathconf(3), sysconf(3), and
- limits.h configuration.
-
-- New tzset utility to generate a POSIX-compatible TZ environment
- variable from the Windows timezone settings.
-
-- The passwd tool now allows an administrator to use the -R command for
- other user accounts: passwd -R username.
-
-- Experimental: Change the way sockets are created so that Cygwin always
- circumvents so-called "layered service providers" (LSPs) starting with
- Windows Vista.
-
-- signal handler functions are now dispatched in threads other than the
- main thread.
-
-- Support NcFsd filesystem.
-
-- clock_gettime(3) and clock_getres(3) accept per-process and per-thread
- CPU-time clocks, including CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID and
- CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID.
-
-- New pthread functions:
-
- - Spin Locks: pthread_spin_destroy, pthread_spin_init, pthread_spin_lock,
- pthread_spin_trylock, pthread_spin_unlock.
-
- - Stack management: pthread_attr_getstack, pthread_attr_getstackaddr,
- pthread_attr_getguardsize, pthread_attr_setstack, pthread_attr_setstackaddr,
- pthread_attr_setguardsize, pthread_getattr_np.
-
- - Clock Selection: pthread_getcpuclockid, pthread_condattr_getclock,
- pthread_condattr_setclock.
-
- - Scheduling: pthread_setschedprio.
-
- - Signalling: pthread_sigqueue.
-
-- Add /proc/devices, /proc/misc, /proc/sysvipc, /proc/swaps.
-
-- Make various system functions thread cancelation points per POSIX.
-
-- Add ioctl FIONREAD handling for non-sockets.
-
-- dlopen now supports the Glibc-specific RTLD_NODELETE and RTLD_NOOPEN flags.
-
-- The printf and wprintf families of functions now support the %m conversion
- flag.
-
-- Execed processes now inherit the children of their predecessor.
-
-- Fifos have been rewritten and should now be more reliable.
-
-- GNU/glibc error.h error reporting functions: error, error_at_line,
- error_message_count, error_one_per_line, error_print_progname.
-
-- C99 <tgmath.h> type-generic macros.
-
-- Other new API: clock_getcpuclockid, clock_nanosleep, clock_settime, __fpurge,
- get_current_dir_name, getgrouplist, getpt, ppoll, psiginfo, psignal,
- ptsname_r, sys_siglist, sysinfo.
-
-- cygwin_conv_path_list finally supports CCP_WIN_W_TO_POSIX and
- CCP_POSIX_TO_WIN_W conversions.
-
-
-What changed:
--------------
-
-- Drop support for Windows NT4.
-
-- The CYGWIN=tty mode using pipes to communicate with the console in a pseudo
- tty-like mode has been removed. Either just use the normal Windows console
- as is, or use a terminal application like mintty.
-
-- The CYGWIN environment variable options "envcache", "strip_title", "title",
- "tty", and "upcaseenv" have been removed.
-
-- New heap management. Drop registry setting "heap_chunk_in_mb" in favor of
- a new per-executable setting in the executable file header which can be set
- using the peflags tool. Drop registry setting "heap_slop_in_mb" entirely.
-
-- Revamp console and pseudo tty handling. Rename /dev/ttyX to /dev/consX,
- /dev/ttyX to /dev/ptyX.
-
-- Improve fork/exec performance on 64 bit systems.
-
-- Improve Ctrl-C handling in console.
-
-- Try harder to let fork not fail if DLLs are moved in memory which should,
- in some cases, minimize the need for rebaseall.
-
-- Try harder to send SIGHUP to children when process group leader fails.
-
-- Deal with Windows problem where non-blocking pipe I/O was not flushed
- properly on close.
-
-- Attempt to regularize most syscall-related strace output.
-
-- Improve behavior of Cygwin when started from a 64-bit process, especially
- under Windows 2003.
-
-- Improve multi-thread/reentrancy safety with syscalls that deal with fds.
-
-- dlopen can now find "cygFOO.dll", even if the caller specified "libFOO.so".
- This is supposed to support applications which are no aware of Windows DLLs.
-
-- Make accept(2), poll(2) and shutdown(2) behave more like on Linux.
-
-- Raise max number of mount points from 30 to 64.
-
-- Output of /proc/maps is closer to what Linux prints and much more useful to
- examine process VM layout.
-
-- /proc/loadavg now shows the number of currently running processes and the
- total number of processes.
-
-- /proc/version now shows the username of whomever compiled the Cygwin DLL
- as well as the version of GCC used when compiling.
-
-- Various assorted bugfixes and improvements.
-
-- Preliminary, no guarantee, may be broken in subtle ways, Windows 8 support.
